ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this powerful conversation on Amplify Your Marketing Message with Christine Campbell Rapin, she sits down with communication expert and keynote speaker Karen Laos, a woman on a mission to help 10 million women speak with confidence, command any room, and stop asking for permission.
Karen shares the origin story that reshaped her career—being tongue‑tied in a boardroom despite being a senior leader—and how that moment ignited her mission to help women trust their voice, own their presence, and make direct, unapologetic asks.
Together, Christine and Karen unpack the practical skills every entrepreneur and leader must master: physical presence, vocal conviction, concise communication, and the courage to make the ask. This episode is a masterclass in confident communication for women who want to lead, influence, and be heard.
